How to paste the door god? Teach you that double doors and single doors can be pasted

In Chinese tradition, every family pastes Spring Festival couplets and door gods every new year. In the past, the door gods were a pair. Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde had the most symmetrical one. But now our doors are single leaf, so how should the door god paste them? In this article, let's talk about the problem of posting door gods.

Let's talk about the origin of the door God first!

The door gods we know are Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde. In fact, there are many door gods hanging~

The earliest door gods were called shenta and Yulei. They were gods who specialized in killing ghosts.

Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde were door gods, which was recorded only after the Yuan Dynasty. Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde are the generals of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty. They didn't make it up by the people. They did help Emperor Taizong guard the door!

It is said that Emperor Taizong always had nightmares at night and couldn't sleep well. What can I do? At this time, Qin Qiong volunteered to guard the gate for the emperor and pulled in another general, Yuchi Jingde.

Vigil is not a good job. Standing up all night is not a good job. No one can stand it for a long time! After all, Li Shimin was a Ming king. He sympathized with their hard work, so he ordered people to draw portraits of two generals and paste them on the door. It's nice to have trouble sleeping well!

In addition to these two mainstream door gods with provenance, there are many other door gods all over the country ~ for example, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, Ma Chao and Ma Dai in the Three Kingdoms period, Xie Zhen and Xie Bao, LV Fang and Guo Sheng in the water margin, Sun Bin and Pang Juan in the Warring States period, as well as Yang Zongbao and Mu Guiying. If you are interested, you can check. China's door god culture is also very interesting.

When you see here, you will find that the door gods are a pair, which are pasted on double doors, so a single door can't be pasted on the door gods?

Of course not. A single door can also be pasted with a door god. How should a single door be pasted? What is it?

Some people may say that Zhong Kui, who is famous for subduing demons and eliminating demons, is a puff. Say another door god you can't think of -- Wei Zheng ē ng)。

Who is Wei Zheng? The Prime Minister of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty was called the first minister. When Wei Zheng died, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty said that he had lost a mirror since then. It can be seen that he spoke highly of Wei Zheng.

Journey to the West once said that Wei Zheng killed the old dragon king of Jinghe River in his dream. The old Dragon King wanted to cry to Li Shimin, but Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde were at the front door, so he had to go to the back door. Wei Zheng had already taken his sword to the back door, and the Dragon King dared not come again.
